Luke is nearing the end of his years as a Cub Scout. As a graduating Webelos scout, he and most of the boys in his patrol qualified for the ultimate award in Cub Scouting: the Arrow of Light. This is sort of the equivalent of the Eagle Scout for Cub Scouting. Only a few boys earn it.
We're really proud of these kids. They are a fine group of boys. It's been my honor to be their leader for all these years, and this ceremony is a way of celebrating that time together.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
